Gary Macdonald, Kinlochleven (MRS Sherco) is the newly crowned 2014 Scottish ACU Premier Trials Champion. This is Macdonald’s tenth Scottish adult title, his ninth in succession (2001 was his first and he has won from 2006 – 2014). This makes Gary the most successful rider in the history of Scottish Trials since the championships began in 1955, making him the 60th winner of the championship. The previous records were held by Leslie Winthrop (8 championships) & Gavin Johnston (also 8 championships). The first winner of the Scottish title was Haddington man A.M. Laurie MacLean who won it three times 1955-1957. Macdonald is the only Scottish trials rider to have ever won a British title, that of British Expert Trials Champion.

Here is a list of all the Scottish Champions since the commencement in 1955.
